"Just returned from celebrating my wife and her twin sisters birthday party, we opted to get the lodge decorated by the owner Louise for the birthday celebrations and it was amazing, I highly recommended this saves you a lot of time and trouble."
What a beautiful lodge and cottage this is. Warm and clean on arrival and a beautiful welcome hamper which was a treat after a long drive. The lemon cake was delicious. There where thirteen of us altogether. The bedrooms are large and airy giving you plenty of space. Bathrooms and showers are clean and modern with a huge bath. The kitchen is very well catered for with everything you need for a full cooking service with a big group. The living area is bigger than expected but this was brilliant as we all had plenty of space to chill out of a evening and enjoy our drinks whilst dancing the night away. The area outside the lodge is lovely too with plenty of grass for the kids too play on if needed. The hot tub was lovely after a long day out to chill and enjoy a nice cold whiskey whilst watching the horses play in the next field. The games room was a lovely way to spend the evenings playing tournaments of pool, air hockey, darts and table football. Also had a retro pacman machine which the kids loved. We will definitely return when we are in the area, hopefully in summer so we can enjoy the long summer nights and get the BBQ going. Whilst we where staying here the local village flooded and half of our family got stranded. Louise who owns the property was brilliant offering help and even letting us extend our stay for a night so we could retrieve the cars the next day. We couldn't of asked for anything more. The help we recieved from everyone in the community went above and beyond. Opening the community centre and supplying hot food and drinks. Local people helped us rescue our cars too. This really is a beautiful part of the world with the most amazing people. If you need transport whilst you are here I highly recommend Owens Motors for large groups. Make sure you book in advance. Dai was a lovely guy taking us to dinner one night. The best part about these guys though was the help we received from them during the floods, the owner rescued half our family putting himself and his vehicle at risk. To get our family home and safe. Thankyou for a memorable and amazing stay

"Excellent property for large group celebrations"

"We had a great weekend as a group of 14 at The Stables The weather wasn’t great but the hot tub and games room gave lots of entertainment along with our own murder mystery night!"
Kiddies Loved hearing the donkey and seeing the sheep Beautiful setting but couldn’t work the TV Fantastic amount of crockery, pans etc and empty cupboard space for our food, wine etc

"Myself and a group of friends recently stayed at the stables for a 40th birthday and we had the best time."
Both the main building, the Annex and outside area were beautifully maintained and well equipped for all your needs, and I would definitely return and recommend to others. Perfect for all occasions, wether with a group of friends, or with a large family, there’s something for everyone. The owners were easily contactable, and were able to assist with all enquires before and during our stay.

"Great for Gatherings!"
The Stables and Annexe were clean and comfortable, ideal for our multi-generational family gathering. Special mention for the social spaces, games room and hot tube which were superb and special thanks to our lovely host Louise!
-
"Upon arrival we were greeted by a beautiful view."
The rooms are huge and clean and we had plenty of towels. The property was ideal for our 12 guests and the games room was a great way of bringing everyone together as was the communal eating area. I will 100% be recommending this property to everyone I know going forward. Thank you to Louise and family for having us!

"The house and annex was beautifully clean."
we received a welcome pack with afternoon goodies. We were a party of 16. 13 adults & 3 kids. We organised a supermarket delivery shortly after arriving. Locality was brilliant. Went to an activity centre (Oakerwood) , horse riding and after leaving the cottage, went to Elan Valley, went for walk , picnic and then Rhayader to see Red Kite Feeding Centre. Had a wonderful time. Would definitely return.

"Lovely property with lovely views."
We went as 14 adults, you and old, a teen and a 3 year old and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. The property is clean and spacious. We cooked every meal time and the house has everything you would need. The hot tub and games room went down great. The games room actually has more games than pictured. We had an issue with the noise when the cold water tap ran upstairs in the main house but the owner dealt with it. There was a nice welcome basket on arrival. There were a lot of flies coming in but that just comes with being on a farm so not a major issue. There is also another property joined on to the main annex for 11 people called the Hayloft so if you have a larger party, it would be ideal. Would go back again!

"The Stables was well equipped and very comfortable."
One comment we would make:- The Information Booklet needed more detail regarding the recycling procedure along with a more even mix of the recycling trays. But overall our stay was great!
-
"Fabulous property has everything you would need, lovely and warm and spotlessly clean"
-
"Amazing stay."
Great location - tucked away from the rest of the world but only a few minutes drive away from all you’d need. Everything was clean and tidy and comfy. The beds were amazing. Any issues we had were swiftly dealt with. The only issue we did have was an oil refill but the owners acted swiftly and did all they could to sort us out. We loved our stay and had a wonderful holiday. That can be tricky for four families with young kids, but The Stables had everything we needed.
-
"A beautiful place to stay."
The house is kept to a high standard and would recommend to anyone.
-

"Absolutely amazing stay!"

"We had a fantastic stay 10 adults and 5 children."
Perfect for a big get together. Immaculate condition and location. Highly recommended
-
"First impressions were fantastic the place looked amazing and matched our expectations all week through."
Kitchen well equipped, beds, sofas very comfortable. Couple of things downstairs toilet flush not 100% & Upstairs stairrail bit loose. Games room was brilliant, having a few pool players in group was very impressed with table and new balls. Hole place was very warm and underfloor heating was a game changer. Much appreciated Thanks
-
"Great place to stay and live in for a few days for a big group."
The heating wasn’t working when we got there but after a quick call the owners was there in a flash to sought it out. Also due to a storm the night before there was no water in the hot tub but was filled again the day after and up and running
-
"Great house for a group of friends!"
Very well equipped kitchen, lovely hot tub & fantastically comfy settees. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay & the beautiful views around the property.
-
"Just got home after 3 nights at the incredibly beautiful Stables!"
Booked with my friends for my 30th birthday and it did not disappoint in any way! Arrived first to a bunch of flowers and balloons arranged by my boyfriend and kindly decorated by Louise who was so kind and friendly before, during and after the stay! I can’t thank her enough
-
"What a truly outstanding place for a complete, tranquil / get away from it all property."
Comfort & facilities in abundance. My only regret was having to leave. The owners on hand & we’re so helpful, A huge thank you to them for making it a memorable holiday that will not be forgotten.
-
"The Stables is the perfect place to stay for large groups."
I would highly recommend visiting the waterfall and petting farm. The only downfall with the property was the main bathroom shower appeared to clog slightly while using it. But other than that, we had a great holiday!
-
"We stayed at The Stables with my 11 friends for my 24th birthday and honestly had the best 3 nights of our lives!"
Hot tub was constantly hot, showers were lovely and the beds were a dream! There was building work being done in the property directly across from us but we didn’t hear a peep from them, instead as they were going on lunch breaks/ready to leave offering to nip to the shops for us for extra alcohol or food which was so lovely! the owner Louise was delightful too nothing was too much bother! The only problem we had with staying here was the flies, but in my opinion that’s out of the owners hands so it’s more just a location thing.
-
"We had a lovely weekend with the family ."
The Stables felt spacious and comfortable, it would have been nice to have more seating outside . The hob was a little temperamental at times but overall a great time was had.
-
"Amazing week away at The Stables."
The owners were easy to contact and were amazing when we needed some help. The hot tub got plenty of use and the animals were super friendly. Facilities were perfect. The bath tub was devine and so much storage, that for the first holiday ever we didn't live out of our suitcase and instead put everything out. 10/10. And would definitely consider a return in the future.
-
"The barn was lovely and very well equipped."
Plenty of flies to keep us company, compounded by the extreme hot weather....but after all, it is a farm! Reversal of the cold tap direction through us, so don't think that they don't work....just turn them the other way :-) Louise and Richard are brilliant landlords and any issues we had they worked hard to get resolved as quick as they could. Definitely a great place to get away from the stress of life, and although out in the sticks, you have plenty of animals to keep you company (we particularly loved the 2 donkeys and the goats next door!) and the nearest civilisation is not that far away. Great break away having been locked in our own houses for 2 months!

"Would definitely recommend and will be 100% returning!"

"Fantastic Property."

-
"Fantastic place to stay!"
Lovely living room which was used by our group and was the focal point of out stay. The rooms and bathrooms were spotless and very modern. Hottub was amazing, especially at night. Huge kitchen and fridge which was very helpful. Oven was a bit tricky to get to temperature but didn't take anything away from the experience. Master bedroom was also very lovely and the location overall was enough out of the way to enjoy the feeling of isolation but not too far away to pick up a local chinese takeaway from Knighton. Didnt realise the far side of the stables was another holiday let but didn't hear a sound from the people stopping there so wasn't as issue at all. Overall an amazing weekend away. Would recommend to anyone.
-
"The Stables was amazing and by far our favourite Christmas Property, special thank you to Louise and Richard for being so accommodating."
We had a lovely hamper on arrival and the place was decorated beautifully. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend and would love to stay again!
-
"Amazing long weekend at the this wonderful cottage!"
And what a treat to find Christmas decorations, a present under the tree and a basket of local goodies on arrival! Fantastic communication with Louise and all the facilities needed for a very enjoyable weekend away with friends. We will definitely be returning, highly recommended!
-
"This property was amazing, was so perfect for our girls Christmas."
The owners had been great and contacted us prior to let us know some road closures. We even had a problem first night with getting the oven on and they arrived in no time to help us. We will be booking again for annual get together and will definitely be looking at this place direct with the owners.
-
"An absolutely beautiful property in a beautiful location."
The owner had thought of everything. A lovely welcome hamper was waiting for us when we arrived. Have already recommended to family and friends and will certainly be booking again. 5* thank you
-
"The whole visit was amazing from start to finish."
Quality of all furnishings were above expectations. Only item we thought was missing was a speaker but we had our own. But that was only because we were a group on a family for a hen party, otherwise probably not required. Everyone in our group wants to return. Thank you for making our weekend one to remember for all the right reasons!
-
"Spent a weekend here with some friends, the views were amazing, the hot tub was on point."
All the rooms were clean and to a very good standard. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for accommodation for a week/weekend away.
-
"In a lovely setting and great if you want to switch off and relax."
Nearest town is about a 10 min drive. The children loved the house and a great garden but their highlight was having the donkeys come down to the fence . The owners really went out of their way for anything we needed and the welcome basket was such a lovely touch - we ordered more of the welsh cakes before we left . Would definitely recommend if you’re wanting a complete rest .
-
"Absolutely perfect weekend away!"
Such good value for money. Would recommend to anyone wanting a large group holiday.
-
"The Stables is a very beautiful clean and wonderful place to stay."
We had such a lovely time on our family getaway. The lounge is a wonderful set up for 12 people to sit and have fun. We definitely recommend and will be going back.
-

"This is the kind of house I almost dont want to tell anyone else about."
..... because I wouldn't want to share it! What a find.... absolutely immaculate throughout, stunning views, perfectly placed hot tub and large open plan space lending itself to large groups. The welcome box was delightful and the owners were very helpful and just there if you need them. Parking was more than ample and the surrounding farmland was a constant source of entertainment. Thank you, each and everyone of us will be returning I'm sure!
-

Up further stairs you will discover the master bedroom with a king-size bed and an en-suite, including a shower, basin and WC.
To the left of the staircase is an additional family bedroom with double bed and single, a family bathroom, consisting of a stand-alone bath, separate walk-in shower, basin and WC.

The barn boasts a truly impressive spacious interior, complete with large vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and galleried staircase.
There is a well-equipped kitchen with a large dining table, perfect for enjoying a social evening with the whole group, which leads through into the adjacent sitting room with comfy seating perfect to curl up in front of the TV or sit and enjoy the countryside views through the patio doors which fill the room with light.
For an escape from the excitement, the self-contained annex offers additional living quarters, perfect for a small family or a couple, with the rustic character of the main house maintained throughout.
Make use of the fully-equipped kitchen tucked away in the corner of the open-plan living space to whip up a romantic meal for two, and gather together at the dining table to indulge in your culinary delights.

When sleep calls, choose between either of the two sumptuous king-size bedrooms, with one positioned on the ground floor for your convenience and the other idyllically nestled under the intimate setting of exposed wooden beams.
Outside, you can sit on the patio and enjoy the luxury of the hot tub and just take in the views of the surrounding valley whilst the little ones keep themselves entertained and try their hand at table football in the unique games room.
The barn is a short drive from the popular market town of Knighton, set on Offa’s Dyke Path, hugely popular with walkers and cyclists with great places to eat and enjoy the local area.
